Why should vets care about behaviour?

A

Behavioural shifts are reasons for vet consult
Behaviour is integral to human-animal bond

Q

Animal welfare audits - what are they?

A

Certification programs
set standards and
guidelines for the
humane care of various
livestock species such as
cattle, swine, sheep, and
poultry. Once a farm is
certified, these programs
will perform periodic
audits to ensure
compliance with the
program

A

Labels products produced with a
higher welfare standard.
* Consumers may elect to purchase
these products.
* Typically sold at higher price than
conventional products.

28
Q

What are resource based (or input based) measures regarding animal welfare measures?

A

specify certain environmental requirements, identification of risk factors for animal-based measures. E.g. environmental enrichment, access to water, bunk space

29
Q

What animal based measure could tell you if animals have poor quality food or poor access to food?

A

Body condition score
Manure

30
Q

Protocol or management based measure for audits:

A

Identify certain actions that should be taken in specific circumstances (e.g., down cow, euthanasia, painful procedures)

31
Q

Animal or outcome based measures for audits:

A

assesses actual state of welfare of
the animal, without specifying how it should be achieved

32
Q

Examples of animal or outcome based measures for audits

A
  • % lame animals
  • % poor body condition
  • % dirty animals (udder, legs, flank)
  • % injuries (hock, neck, knee, broken tails)
  • % abnormal behavior
  • % falling or vocalizing during handling
33
Q

Where should you look to assess dirty animals?

A

Udders
Legs
Flank

34
Q

Gait score scale

A

1-5

35
Q

Injuries score scale

A

1-3

36
Q

Cleanliness score scale

A

0-2

37
Q

What does assessment or auditing lead to?

A

Pass or fail component

38
Q

What kind of vision do horses have?

A

Dichromatic, wide field, monocular and binocular
Facial expression awareness

39
Q

Do horses have a flehmen response?

A

Yes
Vomeronasal organ

40
Q

Horses are designed to forage more than half the day. How does this relate to their welfare needs?

A

In captivity we often stall them (not allowing for movement) individually and feed them meals of high concentrate feeding leading to medical and psychological problems.

41
Q

3 Fs of equine welfare

A
  1. Friends
  2. Forage
  3. Freedom
42
Q

Why is it important to avoid labeling our patients based on behaviour?

A

Anthropomorphism is not always helpful - they are animals and are reacting out of instinct and fear. It won’t help the way we interact with the animal the next time. The onus is on the humans with the goal to help the patient be successful

43
Q

Trigger stacking

A

When many small stressors increase the sensitivity of the learner over time

44
Q

Examples of equine low stress handling techniques

A

Environment (lighting, sounds, familiarity)
Basic needs
Conspecifics (friends)
Decrease trigger stacking
Handling (gentle and calm, distraction techniques)
Pain meds and sedation
Future planning
Counter conditioning

45
Q

ABC’s of Behaviour

A

A = Antecedent
B = Behaviour
C = Consequence

46
Q

Hynes’ Core Mottos

A

Behaviour is always occurring, animals are always learning, learners determine what is reinforcing or aversive

47
Q

WTF

A

What’s the function

48
Q

Classical conditioning

A

Repeated association of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus elicits a conditioned emotional response

49
Q

Operant conditioning/learning

A

A method of learning that creates associations between a voluntary behaviour and the consequence of that behaviour

50
Q

What are the 6 steps to analyzing ABC’s?

A
  1. Describe target behaviour objectively
  2. Describe antecedent
  3. Describe consequences
  4. Examine antecedents, behaviour, and consequence in sequence
  5. Devise new antecedents and/consequences to teach new behaviours or change existing ones
  6. Evaluate the outcome
51
Q

Counterconditioning

A

Changing an animal’s conditioned emotional and physiological response to a stimulus

52
Q

Marker or bridge / bridging stimulus

A

Auditory, tactile, or visual cue that communicates the precise moment that is being reinforced (e.g. clicker)
